If we're hopeful of getting a fee for Fuchs I'd put an arm round him and tell him how good he is and ask him to just get back to doing the basics well and take it from there.

If we're losing him for nothing I'd bench him and start to build our future midfield with Glass and Meekison. But could definitely do with a new player to come in.

I've heard stories of him being unhappy at certain things that have gone on in the background at the club, which have since tied in with the beginning of his poor form. Now it looks like he's lost his heart completely. He's nowhere near the player he was.

That was unacceptable tonight. I really don’t care about the second half, for the manager to send out the same eleven after that first 45 was incredible.

Trying to play out back entire first 45 mins with no outlets on flanks in part because we were playing a centre half at right back, when the opposition is able to funnel back behind the ball and wait to steal it off you high up the pitch.

We should have been making bare minimum 2-3 subs at ht. Freeman, sporle to give width, mochrie or glass to run in behind opposition and commit players, watt to try a different striker. How harkens and McNulty stayed on I don’t know. McNulty is just another Nicky Clark, doesn’t have physique to win headers or pace to get in behind, just kept giving away pointless fouls.

When we ended up with desperate with Clark, McNulty and watt on pitch, it just felt like last season again when we shoe horned McNulty, Clark, and shanks - still no pace to be direct or anyone to win headers.

I know we were rotten tonight but our strikers truly are awful. I really hope they have a plan for watt, because I don’t see him win too many headers or get in behind teams with his pace.

0 points from a possible 18 but we're all over-reacting eh!

Deary me.

Produce that form in the EPL and the manager is toast we all know that to be true.I am not calling for Tam's head yet and considering the run we are on i reckon he is being treated very well by a large majority of this board's posters.

When was the last time we won a midweek game? Our record midweek is ****ing horrendous and we are going to playing twice a week for weeks now. Not looking good and need a real injection of quality this window to arrest the slump. The manager sticking to basics would be a good start too

We lost the midfield battle then, of course, when they go a goal up and that's us fcuked as we just don't have 2 goals in us. ☹️

The starting line up was piss poor, and the tippy-tappy pish is utterly deflating me.

WTF has happened to Fuchs? Can't get my head around it and there is no way he should be starting ahead of Butcher on this form.

All in all, brutal. 😭

Disagree

Only the first half was brutal, we created nothing, not helped by no right back of course and too much slow possession

We created enough second half and played well, it wasn't brutal, it was actually entertaining apart from the fact we lost the second against the run of play, even then unlike other games we had enough clear chances to win the game, very poor from McNulty not to finish that chance, had he done I do think we'd have got a winner, once it got to ten mins to go they went into full time waste, fake injury mode and made subs as your expect, if it was 2-2 at that point they'd not have been doing that, key moment really, can we put it down to being rusty after long injury lay off? Reckon if it fell to Watt instead it would have been finished

I thought the starting line up was fine apart from Neilson at right back it isn't far off what many asked for apart from maybe Watt starting z that wouldn't have made a diff first half though, the same team that was poor first half was very good second half before the sub of Niskanen going off z then we lost the second goal right away, the two subs after that changed out for the better with Freeman and Clark playing well and b having that natural right back was night and day

[offshore_arab83]

Mate if we get beat on Saturday which is probably odds on then Tam should be on his way out the club

Enough is enough

This isn’t just a blip, this is has been consistent. If he can’t change from this 4-3-3 and the slow play from back side ways passing sh1te then he has to go before we plummet back down into a relegation fight

[LSArab]

Oh and the referee, tell me there isn't something dodgy going on when you watch that, blatantly against us

That ten mins at end including the injury time is easily the worst refereeing I have seen for years

Anyway same old same old and we move on

Agree with all of this. We sinply need to bring some pace into this team, Courts job depends on i reckon. Sign a winger or 2. We are still feeling the loss of Mcmullen imo

Agreed and playing the Funsters in midweek,yes even them is a massive worry.

I said a few weeks ago that this current side are starting to take on the manager's character. It happens quite a lot. Studious, ponderous, lacking fire, thinking about it too much.

You could see the opposite with St Mirren who were displaying Goodwin's personality - don't care who you are we're here to rough you up, get in your faces, score, defend it and hold out.

This is worrying.

For you it is

Not everyone is worried

If we start winning again in next few games minus Celtic away, will the side be taking other parts of his character then? Did you say the same in October?
